Croque-Monsieur

Croque-Monsieur is the French version of the classic yet simple grilled cheese sandwich.  The French make a simple grilled cheese sandwich sound like a delicacy!  This grilled cheese sandwich is a little different than the grilled cheese that we are used to.  A croque-monsieur is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with the ham in between two pieces of french bread and the cheese on top of the bread.  This is a popular item on many cafe menus.  I tried this sandwich while I was in Paris, and it is delicious!  You definitely want to give this sandwich a try!

Place de la Concorde

 Place de la Concorde is a major public square in Paris located in the eighth district.  In the center of the square is an obelisk that was given to the French by the Egyptians in the 19th century.  The obelisk is adorned with hieroglyphics and is one of two obelisks that the Egyptians gave away.  This is the place where the famous king and queen of France, King Louis and Marie-Antoinette were killed by the guillotine.  When the French Revolution was occurring, Place de la Concorde was renamed to Place de la Revolution.  Sorry, nothing really bright and cheerful happened here, it's basically a sight of death, but it is a beautiful place to see just like everything else in Paris is.  The fountain in Paris is huge and grand and you can sit along the edge and admire the beauty of Paris.  Overall, this place is more about the history of Paris, but it is also a great tourist attraction.
